Independent Pedaling mean either front or back rider can coast while the other peddles? Overall length folded &amp; unfolded? High &amp; low gear ratio?

yes- they can coast or go their own speed. not sure without going down to measure- ask company- but it does fold for shorter cars. 7 gears- so like a beach bike. It is good for the cost- but this company is not pleasant to work with- we had a seat post issue..... and thank goodness Amazon was on our side!!! document every conversation!

I think I know what you are asking. This bike has a flip flop hub. That means that it can be set to a free wheel where you can coast w/o pedaling. If you flip the hub, it becomes a fixed gear. That means that when the back wheel rotates, the pedals rotate. Does that answer you question?

43 mpg Riding 2 up, so I'm not twisting that hard. Solo is about 41 mpg, less weight but more aggressive riding.

I wouldn't know about the others, but this bike rocks. Lite, easy folding makes it very portable. Good luck.

I live in a hilly area. I haven't found a hill I can't climb with peddle work in the right gear. You do have to peddle on hills. I never have to stand up in my seat, though. It's more like trying to peddle about the same as you would if there were no motor on flat ground. I have never had to jump off and push the bike up a hill, however, without peddling and gear changes, the bike will stop going up a steep hill. If you buy the newer model with the bigger motor, it might make a difference.

This will completely depend on the weight of the rider and degree of the hill. For me (135 lbs), taking a fully charged bike up a very steep incline at full throttle while I assist pedal is just possible. Climbing a "normal" city uphill street is easy. It definitely slows down on the biggest hills, using the proper gearing while you help pedal really helps. As does a running start ;-)

It is free wheel. No need to pedal while coasting. To brake, reverse pedal.

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

If you want to be able to pedal backwards freeky. Simple flip the rear wheel. It's a flip hub which means one side is fixed and the other is single speed. Stay coastin.

I'm not aware of any of the bikes you are referencing. The key points to this bike that some others don't feature are a thicker durable frame for rougher terrain, the amount of gears, the double suspension, and the full sized wheels.

It'll depend on what size bike you get, but it's generally going to be smaller than the fully assembled bike. The seat, handlebars, pedals, and front wheel will not be connected to the rest of the bike, so I would say it's just a little more compact than the assembled bike.

You take the wheel off the bike and there is a gear on each side. One you can free wheel the other you peddle as lone as the bike is moving and it can also be use to brake...just don't kill yourself

Im 5'4" and theres a slight lean req when at a stop. Pedaling is not a problem.

They are 2 hand breaks with free wheeling pedals. It's a very grown-up trike! It has great styling and is fun to ride. Be sure to make wide turns; the balance is different than a 2 wheeler.

You cannot coast, if you try to stop hard with your legs, the momentum will keep the pedals/wheel going. You can slow down using your legs when you are on easier resistance settings, but again, don't try a hard, quick stop. But to answer your original question, no, there is no coasting.

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

This bike actually has both options on the rear wheel. It is set up for single speed, which means the peddles don't move when you stop peddling. If you want fixed gear just turn the wheel around
